Balloon Festoon surprise slider card with video tutorial

I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

Below is the video tutorial; I hope you watch it! There’s a second card I share as well; I’ll feature that project in tomorrow’s post.

• Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!

  October 23, 2020

  ---

  At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween.  But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!  

  I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

  Here's the first one.  Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?!  There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all.  You can see the video below.

  I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here.  I love the pretty purple/blue background!  The two owls are die-cut using the same die set.  I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins. 

  This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above.  I did cut out one extra.  I stamped and colored directly on them.

  Other details:

  • A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.  
  • The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
  • the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags. 
  • The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.

  October 22, 2020
